  • the structure of the thermosensitive assembly 13 according to the second embodiment is mostly similar to that of the thermosensitive assembly 13 according to the first embodiment, so the description thereof is omitted here.
  • the present embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the thermosensitive assembly 13 includes a covering 132 which is connected with the cover plate 12 through a connecting member 19.

  • the number of connecting holes 13h provided in the covering 132 may be adjusted according to actual requirements.
  • two connecting holes 13h are provided in the covering 132, and the two connecting holes 13h are respectively disposed at two ends of the covering 132 in the first X direction.
  • the connecting hole 13h is disposed away from the receiving cavity, so as to avoid interference of the connecting member 19 on the thermosensitive wire 131 in the receiving cavity.
  • thermosensitive assembly 13 In the battery module 1 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure and the battery pack including the battery module 1, in some embodiments, different integration schemes may be selected according to the actual structure of the battery module 1 to realize integration between the thermosensitive assembly 13 and the cover plate 12 to provide a prompt signal indicating thermal runaway occurring in the battery 111.
  • the introduction and integration of the thermosensitive assembly 13 does not conflict with other structures inside the battery module 1, so that there is no need to design additional structures in the battery module 1 except the cover plate 12. Therefore, the original production procedure of battery module 1 can be largely guaranteed.
  • thermosensitive assembly 13 Meantime, a modular integration design is formed between the thermosensitive assembly 13 and the cover plate 12, and the standard modular design can achieve better production versatility and assembly consistency, and ensure the operability of different design schemes. Because of the standardization and modularity, the design cost of battery module products is reduced, the production efficiency of a single product is accelerated, and thus the cost of materials can be effectively reduced.
